  • Small-Scale Processes in the Coastal Ocean

    Creator:
    Moum, James N., Nash, Jonathan D., and Klymak, Jody M.
    Abstract:
    Varied observations over Oregon’s continental shelf illustrate the beauty and complexity of geophysical flows in coastal waters. Rapid, creative, and sometimes fortuitous sampling from ships and moorings has allowed detailed looks at boundary layer processes, internal waves (some extremely nonlinear), and coastal currents, including how they interact. These processes drive...

  • Mixing in the equatorial surface layer and thermocline

    Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Paulson, Clayton A.
    Abstract:
    Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140°W) in November 1984 showed a surprisingly strong effect of both daily cycle of solar heating and wind on mixing in the upper ocean. Because of limited variations in atmospheric forcing and currents during the experiment, processes in the daily mixing cycle...
